Client Review

throughout my career and practice, and personally, i have had accounts in ten different banks, and this TD branch is by far the best banking experience i have ever had...simply put, the staff, including the platform and tellers, all guided by Janet Franklin, are wonderful...they are pleasant, knowledgeable and always helpful...i would never bank anywhere else

Due to extra traffic on my way home on 7/6/15 I was running late to make a cash deposit, but was relieved to see a teller at the window when I arrived just a few minutes after 7pm. The teller was talking to another woman who after a few minutes glanced my way, then the teller walked away. I pushed the call teller button, and the woman said "we closed at 7", I told her I just wanted to make a cash deposit, she said "come back tomorrow morning". I know I arrived almost 5 minutes after 7, but I thought TD advertised that they went the extra mile when it came to customer service, and stay an extra 10 minutes...not at Roxbury, I have 3 accounts at this bank, tellers are hardly friendly and barely look up at you inside and at the window. In my experience here, the reps at the desks have been better at greeting customers than the tellers. Disappointed the "helpful 10 minutes extra rule" didn't apply to me. I would have given 2.5 stars, but it wasn't possible, (just like my deposit)

In 2008, my mother passed away and we ended up opening an estate account with TD North Bank in Westport. It wasn't super smooth sailing, but the staff was helpful and when the estate checks arrived after a month long wait with a $36.00 bill, they moved quickly to resolve the issue. After a year or so we closed out the estate, life went on. I wasn't terribly fond of TD, it was an okay bank.

However, in 2012, we were informed that our parents were awarded some money from a major class action settlement (long, involved story) and for some reason the checks could only be made out in our parents' names (even longer, more involved story). On the advice of an estate lawyer, I returned to TD North in 2014, which had changed its name and location during the intervening years to reopen the estate account. I arrived at the Westport office armed with death certificates, obituaries, copies of probate papers, notarized affidavits, copies of the wills, and the voluminous correspondence between the class action attorneys and me.

Mr. Daniel Vindheim, the store supervisor, greeted me the moment I walked in, asked how he could help, and escorted me to his desk. He listened patiently as I handed over document after document about the issue. At the end of my explanation, he calmly said, "Okay, so we're reopening your mother's estate account to accept the settlement payments. Let me get the original documents and they we will be all set." Forty-five minutes later, I had the account set up and ready to go. Six months later, the class action suit checks came and I went to the bank to close the account. Daniel gave me a big smile when I arrived and said that normally, he was concerned when accounts were closed, but this time, he was happy for us.

I now have a small account at the Westport branch, and also used their investment services. Also just a quick shout out to Joseph Coverson for handling that currency exchange and the set up of the maintenance account for me.

When I go to the Westport office, I drive past at least one other branch, but I will continue to patronize the Westport office and encourage others to do so, also.
